We've been putting our Homemade Kahlua into just about everything, and we found that it works especially well in Eggnog. Homemade eggnog to be exact. It's a pretty simple process to make at home, and it's a perfect treat for the Holidays! We've based our recipe on an Eggnog recipe found at Alli 'N Sons Recipe Blog

What you'll need:

2 cups skim milk

3 whole cloves

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

6 Safest Choice egg yolks (save those egg whites, they make a great egg sandwich for lunch!)

3/4 cups sugar

2 cups half and half

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Homemade Kahlua liquor to taste – about 1 tablespoon worked for us (mint, caramel or chocolate are some other great flavors to try)

12 hours later..

We end up with a smooth and creamy drink! Our Homemade Cold Brew Kahlua flavor comes through with out being to over powering, and mixes well with the classic eggnog cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg flavors.
